• 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying and controlled conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
• Atopic Dermatitis The safety of EBGLYSS was evaluated across 4 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials in subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis including 3 phase 3 trials (ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2, ADhere) and 1 phase 2 dose ranging trial (KGAF).
• In these 4 trials, mean age was 37 years; 50% of subjects were male; 62% were White, 13% were Black, and 20% were Asian.
• In terms of co-morbid conditions, in the phase 3 trials, 30% of the subjects had asthma, 50% had allergic rhinitis, 31% had food allergy, and 14% had allergic conjunctivitis at baseline.
• A total of 891 subjects were treated with EBGLYSS for at least 1 year in the atopic dermatitis development program.
• ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2, and KGAF compared the safety of EBGLYSS monotherapy to placebo.
• ADhere compared the safety of EBGLYSS + TCS to placebo + TCS through 16 weeks.
• All subjects from the phase 3 trials were allowed to enroll in the long-term extension study.
• Weeks 0 to 16 Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks monotherapy group, or in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks + TCS group, all at a higher rate than placebo during the first 16 weeks of treatment.
